Enfield: Twitter the tool of insurrection?

It's fascinating at the moment (around 8.20) watching the number of Tweets with the word Enfield in them suddenly accelerating to one a second or so when just a few minutes ago similar posts 8 hours old and 8 minutes old could be viewed on the same screen. Locals are posting pictures as they happen - as below. One only presumes that either the rioters don't smoke or have forgotten to bring their lighters with them. With a bit of luck the police will swamp the area and kill any further damage.

"outsider"You are correct.News reports suggest that is exactly what the police/authorities are/will do.Trawl through the back e-mail/twitter/cctv etc. messages, and go round and nick a few thieves.

However, in another report (Daily Telegraph) a link suggests (no proof yet) that the bullet lodged in a cop's radio at the site of the Duggan shooting was ... another police bullet.Forensic test are ongoing.IF, note the "IF", this is so, then the whole thing is ANOTHER police gross cock-up.
